As my partner Laurel says, there's one is every family. 😀 My set of towels in ocean blues includes one that shows off the colours of sunsets and sea stars. #weaving #handwoven #handhemmed #slowfabric

Design day! These cones will transform into a sofa blanket for a dear friend, in colours of her choosing, based on a JST wrap design. Especially exciting because this will be the first warp I wind in my new studio space!! #weaving #handwoven #lovegift #harrisvilleshetland #janestafford

The start of a good day of creating, inspired by all the amazing artists in my new home (yarn is hand dyed polwarth/silk from Crafty Jak's). #qathet #qathetart #makers #handdyedyarn #knitting

It's always a good day to weave beautiful colours with strong coffee close to hand. #weaving #handwoven #selfcare #breathe #floorloom

$40 Canadian (which is what the local weaving guild here charges at their Christmas sale) sold individually. Example below. My partner made the lovely hangers. Hope you had a beautiful Thanksgiving!

I took my just-off-the-needles sweater out for a walk on the trails today. Since it's made from wool grown by Vancouver Island sheep, and hand dyed on Vancouver Island, it felt right at home. :) #shoplocal #fibreshed #handknit #handmade #slowfashion #naturewalk

Long grey days call for colourful creations. (8/2 cotton, huck lace scarves in Jane Stafford's parrot colourway)

Weaving is my happy place. Does this say zinnias to you? :) #weaving#summergarden#woven#handmade

Thanks for being there, Vancouver Island! Stay safe tonight as you take the hardest hits from this intense storm. #pacificnorthwest #powellriver #winterstorm
